Episode notes

We’ve taken a different approach with today’s episode — one that goes beyond cricket, but speaks to the heart of our club and community.


In this special edition of Housecast, we share the story of the Moorhouse family — Fran, Bethany, Grace, and Gary — who open up with incredible honesty about the journey they’ve been on. While the COVID pandemic was a difficult and uncertain time for all of us, what the Moorhouse family has endured in its aftermath is something truly profound.


Their story is one of unimaginable challenges, personal battles, and the strength they’ve shown in facing them together. It’s raw, emotional, and deeply human. Through tears, laughter, and reflection, they talk about what they’ve been through, how it’s changed them, and how it’s shaped their purpose moving forward.


After we finished recording, the family told us that just having the opportunity to sit down and speak openly as a unit was therapeutic in itself — and we believe it will be just as powerful for listeners to hear. This isn’t an easy listen at times, but it’s an important one.


As a club, we’ve always stood for more than just sport. We want to use our platform to raise awareness, to spark conversations, and, most importantly, to encourage people to take action when it comes to their health and wellbeing. If this episode makes even one person stop and get checked, then it’s been more than worth it.


Please give this one your time. Share it. Talk about it. And if you’re struggling, or something doesn’t feel right, don’t ignore it. There’s strength in speaking up and seeking help.
